1974 Dodge Charger “Daytona” on Craigslist
Now here’s a wild custom for you: a 1974 Dodge Charger done up to look like a Daytona. Sort of… Seems fairly well done, and of course you can’t argue with a 440 under the hood. What do you think? Seller is asking $35,000. More pics plus the Craigslist ad text after the jump!
Movie Mopar of the Week: 1971 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible from The Brady Bunch
This week’s movie Mopar is the 1971 Plymouth Barracuda convertible from the Brady Bunch. It’s a plain jain B5 318 automatic car, but of course any 1971 Barracuda convertible is cool cause they made so few of them–just 722 in total. I had a hard time finding any clips with the Barracuda on YouTube, but I did manage to find one where Greg is at a drive-in with a date, only to have Bobby screw it up (along with the Barracuda’s convertible top). Check it out after the jump! Pic via IMCDB
2013 Mega Mopar Car Show at Maple Grove Raceway
BangShift has tons of great pics from the 2013 Mega Mopar Car Show at Maple Grove Raceway in Mohnton, Pennsylvania this past weekend. Looks like the High Impact E-bodies were out in force! I have a few more pics after the jump (including a wicked black ’67 GTX) but you can see the rest at BangShift (and they just added some drag racing pics here). And be sure to check out the winners at maplegroveraceway.com
Green With Envy Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 Wrecked
Don’t have a lot of info ont this one, other than that it happened in Northeast Ohio. The Green With Envy 6 speed SRT8 392 was almost brand new before it took out that guardrail. Came from Frederick Motors and still had temp tags. Lots more pics after the jump. Via Moparts
Chrysler Sebring Bentley Conversion on Craigslist
I’ve seen a few of these Chrysler Sebring Bentley conversions over the last few years, but this is probably the most extreme one I’ve seen so far, with the 28 inch wheels and Lambo doors. I can’t tell if it’s “finished” or if they were going for the matte look. It can be yours for $15,000. More pics plus the original Craigslist ad text after the jump! Via Jalopnik
Most Famous Mopar Burnout on YouTube?
Well it has over 1 million views, so it’s gotta be up there. This “hearse” is a 1969 AMC Ambassador wagon with a blown 440. Right hand drive and somewhere in New Zealand. If you haven’t seen it, it’s worth a look. Video after the jump, plus two more with the same car.
Mopars in the Junkyard in Turlock, California
Mark Brooks shot these pics last year at a wrecking yard in Turlock, California. Bet they’d probably try to save some of these on the East Coast! See more pics after the jump and you can see the full set on Mark’s page on Facebook!
Funny Car Modeling
Great how-to article on funny car modeling at BangShift by Steve Magnante. Pictured below: Sox & Martin ’64 Plymouth and Ramchargers ’64 Dodge built by Steve in the late Seventies when he was 14!
Crazy Aussie Mopar Stash Uncovered
This just popped up on YouTube. The guy who shot the video stumbled across a pretty wild Mopar stash which was in the process of being moved to avoid some sort of Aussie government land repossession. After first spotting a Challenger on a trailer out on the street, he managed to talk his way into a tin shed containing several Chargers plus a few wing cars up under the eves. Apparently some were used in movies? Check out the cool collection after the jump!
